This is the full Machina crash bar set for the Kove 800X, with upper and lower bars. The lower bars wrap the engine and take the hit in a tip-over. The upper bars protect the fairing, radiator surround and tank area, which is expensive to replace after a drop on a trail.
The frame is carbon steel tube and bolts to the 800X's existing frame mounting points.

Carbon steel. Steel is tough and can often be straightened after an impact instead of cracking.
They bolt to the Kove 800X's frame mounting points with basic hand tools. Fit all bolts loosely first, align both sides, then tighten evenly. Any workshop can fit them if you'd rather not do it yourself.
Yes. Low-speed tip-overs in traffic, on gravel and on slippery monsoon roads are common in India. Crash bars take that hit instead of the engine casings and bodywork of your Kove 800X, which are expensive and slow to replace.
Yes. Crash bars protect the sides of the engine and a skid plate protects the underside, so many riders run both. If you already have a non-Machina skid plate, send us a photo on WhatsApp to check for clashes.
